World Economic Forum working group meeting in Oxford - always so inspirational! 🙌 🇬🇧 Not only is the city of Oxford a place breathing #knowledge and #science, #internationalexchange and a birthplace of so many great ideas 🎓, meeting there with a group of amazing minds both from the #AI world and the #cyberresilience world. It was a very interesting exchange bridging two WEF intiative groups hosted by the Global Cyber Security Capacity Centre (GCSCC), University of Oxford. 🎓The meeting started with a keynote of Prof. Ciaran Martin about #geopolitical #trends and their impact on #cyber. In the #past and in the #future: "where technology comes from matters profoundly". In the past, we started talking about securing technology AFTER we use them on a mass scale, it is about time we change this for the future. 🎓 🤜🤛We then went down to do the actual work, i.e., #exchanging #bestpractices or "the little bit that does the magic" as Sadie Creese put it - challenged by the wonderful World Economic Forum Cybersecurity team Luna Rohland, Joanna Bouckaert, Filipe Beato and Akshay Joshi. 🤜🤛 Some key take aways and some open questions: 💡 We have to shift from only IT resilience to business resilience, making sure we understand the chokepoints of key business processes as control points for resilience (Mark Swift) 💡 This requires that people are literate in assessing risks correctly and comprehensively, whilst quantifying risks associated with AI and other new technologies is even harder 💡 Resilience can only be achieved by a shared responsibility model, and by a shift left of the "oh shit" moment 💡 Exercising should be like an onion 🧅 (I just liked the picture) -> starting from the core then include more and more stakeholders incl. suppliers, etc. ❓ How can we define incentives for resilience? ❓ Is AI amplifying risks? And how could we quantify them? ❓ We mostly talk about AI, what are the other tech advancements about to be implemented without analyzing potential harm around the world? 🙏 Thanks for this amazing event: Sadie Creese, Louise Axon Luna Rohland Carolin Weisser Harris, Jamie Saunders, Filipe Beato, Joanna Bouckaert Dr.Hoda A.Alkhzaimi, Sabrina Feng, Shannan Fort, Ian Tien, Claudio Calvino, Ph.D., Ian Buffey Janus Friis Bindslev, Jalal Bouhdada, Colin Soutar David Caswell, PhD, Philip Reiner, Marijus Briedis, Mauricio Benavides, Piotr Ciepiela, Daniel Kendzior, Sean Morton, Mark Orsi, Mark Swift, and all the others I forgot to mention! #event #networking #brainstorming the future!
